the room OF his mistress, who lives on
the suburbs Of the city, in strict re-.
tirement, and two physicians were

conceal his identity, he going 30 far az
to beg to be removed out Of the city

INEVITABLE.

The development of the Interstate
law is but the development of weakness.
AS the days go by no conviction is so
bourne in upon the mind of the public as
the patent and apparent one, that the
Interstate law will not serve its purpose.
1t is not the purpose that is at fault. 1t
is the law. The purpose is good one.
1t is called for by the people. twill yet
be accomplished. But it will not
be accomplished by the legal mazes, and
legislative tangle masquerading under
the name of Interstate law" The re-
lations of the public with the great rail-
way corporations must be placed upon q
just and equitable basis. This result
must be reached through the appropriate
medium of law of the land. But this
law must deserve its name. 1t
must meet the demand. Appli-
cation must be its inherent characteristic.
1t must be clear and forcible illustration
of cause and effect. Such law is possi-
BILE. Such a law will be a success. The
ground must be cleared for new and salts
factory congressional legislation. This
is inevitable.

KISSANE.

The mawkish sentimentality which
classes the red-handed murderer, forger
and thief, Kissane, with Jean Vatican,
OF Hugo's masterpiece, is simply sicken-
ing. The former has never given any
evidence of being a repentant criminal.
1t, is, perhaps, true that he has COM
mitted no actual crime within the last
twenty years, but although millionaire,
he has never made restitution to the
amount of a dollar to those he had
robbed. There is not a particle of evil
dence that he would not, if in similar
pecuniary circumstances, again re-
sort to murder, robbery, arson,
or any other of the crimes which had
marked his former career, to replenish
his depleted purse. He has only led
seemingly reputable life during his latter
years because it paid him better than to
act the villain. If he was sincere in his
repentance, his sincerity would have
manifested itself in the reimbursement
from his swelling Golfers of the victims of
his robberies during his years of crime.
No professed penitent would be granted
absolution by the priestly power of any
Christian Church, while the sins, for
which remission was sought were un-
atoned. Suppose he was to appear at
the Confessional and relate the story of
his life. The first question he would be
asked, if he had sought so far as posi-
BILE to render restitution to those
he had wronged. Were he to acknowl-
edge that he had not, although rolling
in riches, offered to refund any portion
of the money he had criminally obtained,
would he receive or would he deserve
ecclesiastical discharge from his liabilities
to the Divine Power whose mercy he in
voked? The fratricidal and incestuous
King Claudious shrunk from an appeal
to Heaven for parden for his crime, while
still retaining the offence. 1t is estimated
that through this mans crimes one
hundred persons have met their deaths.
The blood Of these murdered people cries
as loudly to-day for vengeance as when
ii first moistened the earth. 1t will lie
an outrage upon justice if he
is permitted, through the influence
of his money or powerful friends
to escape the consequence of his
infamous deeds. 1t appears, however,
that a portion of the public press not only
seek to condone his manifold offenses,
bnt would make him hero, by compar-
ing him with one of the most superb crea-
tions of the brain of frances most
gifted author. Out upon such drooling
idiocy!

THE DEAD COMEDIAN.

All that was mortal of John T. Ray
mond has passed away. The remains of
the great comedian and genial gentle
men were buried in New York to-day.
But the name of Raymond can never
perish. For years Raymond has been a
National delight. He was the bright
and happy light of the American
stage. He scattered enjoyment as he
went. In him theatre-going publics
recognized the very inspiration of pleas
ure. John T. Raymond was both loved
and admired. He created for himself a
place in the hearts of the people. That
place was peculiar to himself and can
never be perfectly filled. His career was
National blessing, and Nations re-
grets cluster above his grave.

Gentiles can we'll afford to accept favors
like this from the hands OF their
Mormon fellow-citizens. This TACT
is patent to all save blgots.
Fanaticism is fanaticism, no matter when
way it reaches. Bigotry lis bigotry, no
matter what cause it curses. The sup
preston of vices and the vindicatlon OF
morality should always be welcomed.
The quarter from which such suppression
and vindication comes is immatsrlal.
The fact itself is what counts,
and is alone to be considered.
The breaking up of a vicious den
by,,Mormon officials calls aslloud for popu-
lar applause and support, as would kin
dred praiseworthy faction from Gentle
hands. The law must be enforced. Let
it be done without fear or favor. Let those
who transgress, be they Gentiles or Nor
mons, be brought to strict and speedy
account. THE DEMOCRAT has only en-
couragement for officials who do their
duty

A DEFUNCT REPUBLICAN JOB.

The Democratic Governor of New York
is using his veto to as good purpose as
President Cleveland himself. He has
just vetoed the Crosby High License bill.
This bill, under specious temperance
disguise, was a Republican partisan
measure of the most sweeping
description. Governor Hill, in the
message accompanying the return
of the vetoed fraud, says ''that its
support was made the subject of consid-
Grafton at a party caucus of the majority
of the Legislature, and where it has been
ingeniously devised, and particularly and
peculiarly framed so as to operate solely
on the two great Democratic constituent
cies of the State, while the Republican
constituencies and cities are exempted
from its burden" Truly, Republican
legislative jobs in these days of Demo-
cratic executives are out of luck.

CANADA UNDERSTANDS.

President Cleveland's letter to the
American Fishery Union, has had an
immediate and salutary effect in Cana
dian quarters. The Canadian press is
prompt in its recognition of the prob
abilities shadowed forth by Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter. The Toronto Globe editor
tally says, "that the letter is a remark
able and able document" and that
Though studiously moderate in tone, it
conveys warning to Canadians" The
Globe has gauged the situation correctly.
While President Cleveland's letter is free
from bluff, kluster or birthstone, it is
a distinct warning from the United
States to Canada, and through
Canada to England. While it
means that the United States will
not be the aggressor, it also emphatically
says that no imposition from Canadian or
English sources will be tolerated for an
instant. Mr.. Cleveland's course in the
fishery complication has been the course
OF .dignitied, yet far-seeing craftsmanship.
The position of the Administration
has been that of justice,
always. Canada has been placed in
false position. She is still in that posi-
ton. She will always be kept in that
position. In the eyes of the world she
is checkmated to-day. The outcome of
the dispute Is foreshadowed. American
rights will be vindicated, and Canada
and England will receive a diplomatic
humbling which will render a dose of
the same Democratic medicine unneces-
sary for many years to come, if ever.

LET THE LAW BE ENFORCED.

The Salt Lake House has been pulled
by the city police. The only fault to be
found with the police in this matter is
that the pulling was so long delayed.
The house in question has long been one
Of the most notorious dens in the city.
1t has been ripe for pulling for many
days. A moral nuisance has been
abated, and standing disgrace re-
moved. For this the respectable classes
OF the community, Mormons and
Gentiles alike are thankful. 1t is merely
a question of the suppression Of foul and
open vice. This question affects the citi-
zens of Salt Lake. The officers pulling
the notorious dive were Mormons. The

IT is now almost certain that the Park

VIVID lightning flashes, and crashing
thunder rolls over the drought-stricken
region of Texas, but no rain follows.
This breeds strong suspicion that Mr..

strengthened oy the significant fact that
copious rains are falling in Kansas. The
misfortunes of the Texans seem to have

our fields which we now waste on fences
to satisfy this devil who ranges our woods

New York Times.


Sarah Bernhardt will probably wear
some striking new Oriental jewelry when
she PLAYS here again in Theodore.
Fanny Davenport, to begin with, bought
a necklace and one or two other costly
pieces more than month ago from the
East India collection which young Mr..
Marcus, of Jacques & Marcus, had
Just brought over from the Inter-Colinial
Exhibition at South KensingtOn, and at
The Fedora matinee at the Grand OPP
era House on April IS. after Mime. Bern
hardt had gone behind the curtain, the
American actress curious new jewels
were the subject of an enthusiastic fif-
teen minutes talk. They were just the
thing, both play ers agreed, for SardOu's
Byzantine Empress, warm and glowing
in color, almost harbaric in their pro-
fuseness of inlaid brillants.
So the next day MIR. Marcus. ST., went
up to the Hoffman House with box of
East Indian jewelry under his arm and
his most taking smile and best French
accent in readiness. Bernhardt received
him in a morning gown and torrent of
polite French. The South American
tiger-cat was romping about, and young
Maurice Bernhardt was on hand to give
an opinion.
The actress opened the box lid herself
and then let out her vocabulary. Mr..
Marcus is sure she said ''superb" six
times and par fat at least a dozen. She
even admitted that The East Indian Jew
els which the Prince of Wales had given
her-presents to him from the IA jahs
during his travels in India-were far in
ferior in size and brilliancy. She would
take the best pieces at any price, which
ment, of course, as she gently insinuated
afterward, with the usual professional
discount. The gallant Mr.. Marcus smiled
and looked grateful. Then he came to
terms for four of the more elaborate
pieces. The actress tried them on and
then young Maurice Bernhardt looked
them over, with the last one in particu-
lar, a gold dagger for. the hair, long
enough to be a rapier, the athletic young
sporting man was highly pleased.
The first of Madame Bernhardt' S
pieces was a broad forehead ornament
of fine Japore work inlaid with emeralds,
Tubies, jacinths, topaZes and diamonds,
the frame work of pure gold, with re-
verse in enamel. The second was an
amulet necklace, made of three square
gold plates with enamel backs, bound to-
gether by gold chains, the whole inlaid
with talismanic stones, each standing
for some charm or virtue. The third
was a large gold bracelet of finely CHS
eled cylinders of gold, for the upper arm
opening at the back so as to be worn also
as a necklace. The fourth was a jeweled
dagger with which Theodore is to stall
the stubborn Marcellus.
What the prices We're no one knows
Madame Bernhardt Is clever at business
and Mr.. Marcus is gallant ahd apprecia
tive.
Il have seen Rachel. he said the othel
day, but think Bernhardt is more
noble actress"

Slow FreiyhtS.

The loss which may result from lack
of promptness in the work of transpor-
tation companies is often serious and the
vexation maddening. When freight is
received the transportation company is
certainly bound to transmit it safely and
quickly as possible to its destination
barring those accidents or delays which
excuse themselves. We care not whether
this obligation is expressed-the ifnpli-
cation is there and the consideration
makes it binding as if contract had
been signed. Discrimination against a
town or a firm can be made so heavy in
various ways that it often becomes crush
ing. This delay of freights is one of the
deadliest forms under which ill-will can
be expressed.
We will give an instance. Freight for
a party in Palatka left New Haven
Conn, on the night of Thursday, May
), it was in New York on the morning
of Friday, Nav twas transferred to
the Mallory steamer which sailed on
the same day, and reached Fernandina
on Monday, May 9-dH in four days.
Yet the same freight was received
in Palatka only on May IA, having con-
summed more time in travelling eighty
five miles between Palatka and Fernan-
dina than in the passage from New
